    My '68 Crewcab powered by a modified '79 930 3.3 turbo motor with approximately 400 c.h.p., 915 trans by Wevo, brake and suspension up grades. My last suspension project involved swapping out the bus beam for a 935 front suspension setup. ERP 935 control arms, Smart Racing/Fox shocks coilover struts w/double adjustable shocks, Jerry Woods camber boxes & plates, Wilwood 4 piston calipers. Also used Smart Racing/Fox shocks double adjustable shocks, with a combination torsion bars & coilovers in the rear. Finished the corner balance this morning, and will drive it around to get the shocks dialed in. Fun stuff.

    Did you do the transplant or have someone do it? I remember an article in European Car where there was someone in Germany (maybe?) doing these.

    Nice!!!!! Had a friend do similar to his bus. He did it himself borrowing the lifts in my other friends shop. He was a mechanic at the shop, in his early 20's at the time. He was into illegal street racing. After a few outings nobody would race him in that bus. It was pretty fast.
